Happy New Year, SBA families! 🥳

As we welcome 2026, Booster Bears is excited to continue supporting our students, staff, and school community as we head into the second half of the school year. January is all about fresh starts, renewed energy, and building momentum for the months ahead.

As we closed out the fall and winter season, we are incredibly grateful for the support from our school community. Our Holiday Boutique was a tremendous success, with over $23,000 in products sold for your kiddos, making it quite possibly the most successful Holiday Boutique ever at Sitting Bull Academy. A huge thank-you to our families, staff, and especially our volunteers who helped make this event so special, as well as to Polar Pals for partnering with us to help make this dream come true. A heartfelt thank-you to every volunteer who gave their time and energy—it truly could not have been the same without each and every one of you.

We also loved bringing our school community together for Movie Night, where families enjoyed a fun and cozy evening together. Events like these remind us how special our SBA community is, and we appreciate everyone who came out to support and enjoy the night with us.

📅 Booster Bears Meeting
All parents and guardians are invited to join us this Friday, January 9 at 3:15 PM in the Upper Campus Library. Your ideas, input, and involvement help make our programs successful—we’d love to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, and showed support during our events. We’re looking forward to upcoming activities, new opportunities to get involved, and continuing our journey On the Path to a Brighter Futuretogether. Stay tuned for more information on events this semester—we’re so grateful to be part of such an amazing school community! ❤️🖤

🎉 December Highlights 🎉

December was full of meaningful moments for our SBA community. Our Holiday Boutique was a huge success, giving students a special shopping experience while raising vital support for our school. We also loved hosting Movie Night, where families came together for a fun and cozy evening of connection. These events wouldn’t be possible without our amazing volunteers, staff, and supportive families—thank you for making December such a memorable month.
